Editorial: Gabriel Blows His Horn

Gabriel Green, President of AFSCA and Editor of UFO INTERNATIONAL, introduces Bob Renaud as an exceptional young contactee. Green emphasizes that Renaud's story, presented in this issue, is valuable only if it inspires readers to take constructive action towards world betterment. He highlights the critical global situation and the need for public enlightenment to counter ignorance fostered by those who wish to maintain control. Green calls for support for those working to enlighten mankind about "Space Brothers" and the solutions to Earth's problems, stressing that this is a personal responsibility for everyone.

The Bob Renaud Story - Part 1

Robert P. Renaud recounts his first radio contact with beings from another planet, which occurred in the early morning hours of a December night in 1961. He describes being contacted by a feminine voice identifying herself as Lin-Erri from the planet Korendor. Lin-Erri explained that they had chosen Bob as their first contact because of his interest in world peace and the future of mankind, and that short-wave radio transmission was chosen as the best method. They had previously attempted telepathic contact but found most humans had not developed their mental faculties sufficiently. A significant challenge was learning the English language, which they accomplished through monitoring transmissions and using advanced analytical devices. They also described their successful, though complex, use of teleportation to place sensing devices for data collection. Lin-Erri explained that their planet, Korendor, is similar to Earth but larger and with a denser atmosphere due to lower gravity. Korendor is the third world in a 12-planet system orbiting the star Korena, located about 400 light years away in the constellation Bootes. They claim their society is scientifically and morally advanced, with no hatred or violence, and a Council of Worlds to manage inter-planetary affairs. They developed space travel 3000 years ago and utilize advanced propulsion systems, including magnetically driven carriers. Lin-Erri revealed her profession as Psychology, with other crew members specializing in fields like Terratology, Anthropodynamics, Sociology, Chemistry, Physics, and Parapsychophysics. Their primary concern for Earth is the threat of nuclear war, stating that they cannot intervene forcefully due to their codes but can only warn. They advocate for complete disarmament, noting that war is outlawed in their 'Alliance of Planets.' They express dismay at Earth's destructive path, comparing it to other planets that have faced annihilation. Lin-Erri also mentioned that many contactees are reluctant to speak out due to skepticism and the 'crackpot' label applied to those who report sightings. She stressed the importance of persistence in spreading their message of peace and brotherhood.

The Bob Renaud Story - Part 2

This section details Bob Renaud's second contact with Lin-Erri on August 5, 1961. He describes his newly constructed sub-space transmitter and modified receiver. The contact was successful, with Lin-Erri praising his transmitter construction. They then explained further how they learned the English language, detailing the use of a Datacoder console converted into a language translator by Jarren, their psychologist-electronician-linguist. This allowed them to decipher approximately 7432 English words by correlating spoken sounds with mental images. They also explained the operation of their language-analysis devices, which use robot sensors to capture both sound and mental impressions, comparing them to a vast memory bank.

The Bob Renaud Story - Part 3

The third contact occurred on August 19, 1961, with Bob Renaud communicating with Universal Master Kalen-Li and other Masters from Korendor. Kalen-Li spoke of his own planet, Krystalina, which was similar to Earth but was destroyed by war, serving as a cautionary tale. He emphasized that the Masters' goal is to bring about peace and brotherhood on Earth, but they cannot force it. They offered messages of peace and urged people to speak out against war and arms races. Kalen-Li also mentioned that governments possess information about UFOs and extraterrestrial contacts, citing examples of contacts with UN officials and leaders like Dag Hammerskjold, Nikita Khrushchev, Lenin, and Karl Marx. He stressed that the withholding of this vital information is dangerous and should be abandoned. The Masters also discussed the catastrophic results of atomic warfare, predicting the destruction of most of Earth's population and the subsequent degeneration of survivors. They proposed strengthening the United Nations to manage nuclear capabilities constructively. The topic of "New World Economics" was also mentioned as a subject for future discussion. Kalen-Li noted that the Masters, despite their wisdom, possess a sense of humor, contrasting with the solemnity often associated with Earth's leaders.

Lin-Erri discusses the policy of some flying saucer groups to discredit contactees, stating that many contactee stories are true and that the 'fantastic' nature of their accounts is precisely what makes them credible. She emphasizes that contactees are chosen for their specific tasks and belief in universal brotherhood. She also addresses the antagonism from certain groups, attributing it to skepticism, jealousy, and the difficulty of accepting information contrary to deeply held beliefs, particularly religious ones that posit humanity's uniqueness. Lin-Erri states that the government's policy of withholding information on flying saucers is "completely mad" and dangerous, as it prevents public preparedness for eventual landings. She reveals that governments possess data on thousands of sightings and contacts, including alleged meetings between UN officials and ambassadors from local planets, and contacts with leaders like Dag Hammerskjold, Nikita Khrushchev, Lenin, and Karl Marx. She argues that this vital information should be revealed to the public to foster preparedness and prevent panic.

Lin-Erri continues by urging people to make their desires for peace known to their governments, emphasizing that in a democracy, citizens have the right and responsibility to influence policy. She stresses the need to end the arms race, not the human race, and to demand action for peace rather than preparation for war. She contrasts this with dictatorial regimes where citizens have no voice. Lin-Erri highlights the power of collective action, stating that "one man by himself can do little, but many men of the same motivations and purpose can work miracles." She reiterates that beings from other planets have come to Earth to awaken people from their apathy and to encourage action. She mentions that future contacts will provide scientific and sociological information to help eliminate tensions and improve the global situation. Bob Renaud is chosen as their voice to spread their message of peace and brotherhood.

Kalen-Li recounts the destruction of his home planet, Krystalina, due to war, drawing a parallel to Earth's current trajectory. He explains that contactees on Krystalina were ridiculed, much like on Earth, and that their planet was ultimately destroyed by atomic bombs. He states that the Masters' goal is to bring about peace and brotherhood, but they can only offer messages and guidance, not forceful intervention. He mentions that governments possess information about UFOs and extraterrestrial contacts, including alleged meetings with leaders like Lenin and Karl Marx. He emphasizes that the Masters are wise but also possess a sense of humor, contrasting with Earth's leaders. He also notes that the next contact will involve six Masters and will discuss the "New World Economics" plan.

Mars, The Red Planet, by Monka

This section presents a transcript of a tape from "Dick Miller Space Tapes," featuring a message from "Monka." Monka describes Mars (Masar) as a planet similar to Earth in appearance but larger, with lower gravity and a denser atmosphere. Mars was formed 1 1/2 billion years ago, and its civilization is 2 million years old, with three major civilizations having existed. Their current society is advanced, with people working only about 4 hours a day. Their architecture features domed structures and circular ramps. Their industry is extensive, ranking second in the Confederation for spacecraft production, with manufacturing done by thought-controlled automation. Commerce involves exchanging services for goods, and there is no poverty as each individual receives a fixed credit. They have transcended disease and use gravitron-controlled vehicles or matter-transmittal for transportation. Their government is a Council selected through rigorous examinations, with members bearing the symbol of the 'Order of the White Cross.' They emphasize voluntary occupations and a system where children are taught at home or in classrooms, with lessons presented weekly. Monka mentions that their music, heard in the background, was presented to Earth through a device capable of impressing minds. He states that Mars is not as dreadful as astronomers might believe and that their canals are for water distribution. Monka suggests that Earth needs to reorganize its social and scientific concepts to achieve a "New Age" and that the Confederation's purpose is to provide the necessary information for this transition. He expresses disapproval of current Earth governments and emphasizes the need for spiritual awareness and a brotherhood of man over nations. He concludes by stating that their love for Earth is deep and that they work together with the Creator's plan for the planet.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are extraterrestrial contact, the urgent need for world peace, and the dangers of nuclear warfare. The magazine strongly advocates for disarmament, universal brotherhood, and public enlightenment regarding UFOs and the messages from space beings. The editorial stance is one of promoting awareness and encouraging readers to take personal responsibility for influencing global change towards peace and cooperation, drawing parallels between Earth's current situation and the destruction of other planets.

Title: UFO INTERNATIONAL
Issue: 18
Date: Thursday, July 4th, 1963
Publisher: Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America
Country: U.S.A.

This issue of UFO International delves into various aspects of the flying saucer phenomenon, featuring a significant transcript from a representative of the Saturn Tribunal, details on UFO conventions, and reports from contactees and researchers.

Solar Government, by Sutko

The issue opens with a transcript of Tape #3b, featuring Kadar Sutko of the Saturn Tribunal. Sutko explains the structure of Solar and Galactic Governments, emphasizing the role of Tribunals in administering Universal Law. He describes observer craft, termed 'Chronomonitors,' as highly advanced, intelligent, and responsible for reporting events across the universe. These craft are presented as policing and enforcement mechanisms, possessing powers that deter transgression of the law. Sutko highlights the guidance received from 'etheric realms' and expresses gratitude for a Supreme Intelligence overseeing humanity's affairs.

Sutko also addresses Earth's position within the Universal Plan, noting that changes in Galactic Pacts regulations now limit intervention to specific conditions: when a planet threatens neighbors, is threatened by an unescapable cosmic influence, or when the Galactic Tribunal orders it. Earth's nuclear experiments, particularly the potential to explode hydrogen, are cited as qualifying for the first two conditions, necessitating intervention to prevent planetary destruction and its effects on nearby bodies. The magazine also mentions that their craft are shielding Earth from 90% of cosmic ray radiation.

Phenomenon at Giant Rock Convention

This section reports on the 9th Annual Giant Rock Spacecraft Convention, opened by George W. Van Tassel on October 27, 1962.
